Miranda Wormell, Ottawa sophomore, and Kathanna Culp, Tuscaloosa, Ala., sophomore, did a line of Pixy Stix at Templin Hall's Casino Night. Wormell and Culp were able to enjoy Pixy Stix in a style that Studio 54 clubgoers might have enjoyed cocaine during the 1970s.

David Brown, Overland Park junior, said it was the third consecutive year he had attended the event.

He said he liked Casino Night because it gave students an opportunity to enhance their gambling skills before risking money at an actual casino.
night, Brown did end up winning. He took home one of the evening's top prizes, an Emerson DVD/VCR player.
"Here, it's a safe gamble," he said.
"With one ticket I could still win."
"I give my friends credit," Brown said. "Their loans kept me alive when I was down."
After being up and down all
William Clayton, who played craps at the present-day "Caesar's Palace," said that after working at a similar event for his fraternity, he wanted to come and try his hand at winning a prize. The Kansas City, Mo., sophomore said he was impressed with the variety of items up for grabs.

Preparing for Casino Night took about four months of work, said Julie Carey. Templin Hall chairwoman.
But the Springfield,Mo., sophomore said she liked the exposure it gave the hall.
"It's kind of like our open house to the campus." Carey said. "People come in, we have these great activities, and they see that we really do have a great place to live here on campus."

athletics director as chairman.
At that time, the board decided the student body president would also be included on the restructured board, but only as a non-voting member.
Knopp proposed two amendments that would have given the student body president a full vote, but both were narrowly defeated.
Friday, Athletics Director Lew Perkins introduced the issue again. This time the board responded differently. Without a single voice of dissent, it agreed that the student body president should have a vote on the new board.
Holbrook said his earlier vote
"We're here for the students," Perkins said. "It's important we pay attention to what the students have to say."
Board member Reid Holbrook, who voted in February against the student body president having a vote, said he didn't think it made much difference either way.
"If they're hell-bent on going this direction, and he's going that way, it'll be a five-to-one vote," Holbrook said.
Knopp said he realized one vote might not make or break department policy, but it was important to allow students to formally express their feelings about policies.
"It's not like we're going to wreak havoc," Knopp said. "We just want our one vote."
was more against expanding the size of the board than not allowing students a vote. Originally, he said, he was pushing for an even smaller board with only three voting members. Holbrook said he thought the Athletics Department would hear the voices of students regardless of whether they had a vote, and if the department was really pushing for a decision, one student vote wasn't going to stop it.
Knopp and Student Senate have been active on the issue since the original decision in February. The group passed a petition
Perkins said he had also reflected on the original decision, and he felt strongly about the importance of students having a vote. He said he and Knopp had discussed it with other board members, and everyone thought this was the right thing to do.
The new board became effective Friday. The student body president will officially gain a vote in just over two weeks. The old board will become the Chancellor's Advisory Committee for Intercollegiate Athletics, advising the board of directors and the chancellor. Both the board and the advisory committee will answer to the chancellor. The next KUAC meeting is May 7.
